The Best & Worst of FOUND FOOTAGE films

Got the idea for this post from the excellent HORROR ETC podcast. So without further ado the best and worst of found footage films.

ENJOYABLE
REC
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 1,3
EUROPA REPORT
FRANKENSTEIN THEORY
CHRONICLE
TROLL HUNTER
GRAVE ENCOUNTERS
APARTMENT 143

GOOD
THE BAY – Starts off well, but the third act/ending is a disappointment
LAKE MUNGO – Movie never really takes off, or lives up to the hype, but it was well done for what it was

MEDIOCRE/POOR
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2
REC 2
BLAIR WITCH PROJECT
DIARY OF THE DEAD

POSTER OF THE DAY: CHRONICLE

The super powered teen idea may be getting a bit tired, and with a first time feauture film director, and relatively untried (an episode of MASTERS OF HORROR, DEER WOMAN is probably his best credit) Writer, this one, with a 3 Feb 2012 release date, is a definite wait and see. But even if the movie bores, that poster is pretty cool.
